Tripp Lite HDMI over Cat5 Preview

Tripp Lite, a manufacturer of power protection and connectivity products, has introduced a full line of HDMI Extenders and Extender/Splitters. The B126 over Cat5 series extend HDMI signals up to 200 ft. over a single Cat5 cable while maintaining reliable, high quality display and sound. This is ideal in applications where the source is remotely located and signals must be transmitted over distances longer than conventional cables allow. Implementation is simple and cost-effective with Cat5e cables--only one cable is needed to extend the HDMI signal, allowing for inexpensive installation for classrooms, businesses, and digital signage applications.
